EVALUATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT TELEMATICS: THE METHOD USED IN PHOEBUS, THE CASE OF THE PASSENGER INFORMATION IN BRUSSELS

The Phoebus project is concerned by four applications of telematics: 1) passenger information system (PIS) in Brussels, 2) vehicle scheduling and control system in Alcala de Henares (Spain), 3) use of a database and data model, and 4) demand responsive system in Zeist (Netherlands) and Hasserl (Belgium). For these different experiments, the evaluation method has some common features that are described in eight steps. The method is illustrated by its application for the evaluation of the PIS. The eight steps are: 1) description of the objective of the system for the different actors, 2) description of the potential problems of the systems, 3) the objectives of the evaluation; 4) the problems of the evaluation, 5) data surveys and indicators; 6) the scenario of the assessment, 7) the response model, and 8) the experimental plan.
